what is the scoring system? I don't understand how Traditional European Giants such as Bayern Munich, Barca, RM, PSG, Juve are ranked far lower than Manciteh, even though they are champions in their respective domestic league (except for RM) and some of them have even better domestic achievements than manciteh

Better that Salah leave. I have the feeling he is getting big headed. Always taking shot and going for self glory when team mates in better position. If he was less selfish, Liverpool would have won the league. Milner the designated penalty taker. Then he argued with Milner and refused to celebrate with him when he scored the penalty.

Klopp is just being pragmatic. Instead of needing to go all out like against Barca since already leading might as well play defensive and safe players energy. We were never pressing spurs as intensely as we did barca.

Yes never underestimate Klopp after the 2nd minute goal he told the players to relax because he knew we had won already.

I think ppl are more supportive of the "under rated" mane.
For salah case, I personally think he was very impt in many of the games he played, having scored or not. For the ppl who like stats, I think he verified that.
For ppl that knows, his mistakes are part of his game which is jus part of the many other things he do.
Not saying he is indispensable but he is certainly an impt player in the team. As impt as we cheer abt vvd and Alisson.

The best thing about this Liverpool team is that it is not built around cuntinho or Salah, it is a living system that is able to grow another arm or leg to cope with the situation.

Following the end of the Premier League season, which saw the Reds narrowly miss out on the title, Jurgen Klopp's side had three weeks without any competitive football.

But the German was keen to ensure his side got some last-minute preparation under their belts in Marbella before Saturday's Champions League clash with Spurs.

And it appears Liverpool reached out to Benfica's reserve team to ask them for a secret friendly to get a taste of how Mauricio Pochettino's side would line-up in Madrid.

“Liverpool felt the need, after three weeks without competition, to make a friendly match," Benfica B manager Renato Paiva told A Bola

"It was easy: It couldn’t be English teams because of leaks, couldn’t be Spanish teams because [Mauricio] Pochettino had been in Spain many years, it couldn’t be French teams because [Hugo] Lloris is the keeper of the France national team. There was Portugal left.

“And there was a lot of weight – and I have to say it because we were told by Jurgen Klopp and Pepijn Lijnders – the quality of young players of Benfica."

Klopp and his backroom team had clearly done their research before reaching out to the Portuguese outfit.

And Paiva goes on to suggest the Liverpool boss knew Benfica's youngsters could adapt their game to match Pochettino's style of play.

"They looked the B team at the time third in the Liga 2," he continued.

"They don’t walk around distracted and could see it in the meetings.

"They saw the team playing and found similarities with Tottenham. Then came the choice.

The B team had to move to Marbella three days before and meet Liverpool’s technical staff, who was perfectly in tune with what Benfica B were like in technical-tactical terms, what Tottenham were like.

"Benfica B were asked to adopt some behaviours: two defensive players, two offensive players, as well as behavioural tactics on set pieces, similar to the ones that Tottenham do and could do in the Champions League final.
